Vespertine

Read as \VES-per-tayhn; tin\ which means of, or pertaining to, or occurring in the evening.

This word is best used to describe certain flowers that open or expand in the evening or to bats and owls that are nocturnal animals.

It can also be partnered with matutinal which is the opposite of vespertine, for quick association.
